If you don't mind me prying, what are you using to index them? That seems like a lot of data to index, well, not a lot of data.
Sure, it's Elasticsearch.

Re: Show HN: I indexed 1.3m+ email newsletters
#12two comments. Can I edit my newsletter entry? Secondly, it's SUPER expensive. What you've built is very helpful because, as I'm sure you can see in your data, most newsletters have low digits subscribers and looking for inexpensive ways to grow. AKA cross-promotions. So your product is an expensive gateway to try inexpensive techniques for growth.
Right now, no, but you can claim* your newsletter and soon I'll add the ability to edit your listing.
The current pricing is the cheapest it will ever be! I'm aiming this at businesses and agencies. I have a similar and quite successful app for podcasts that starts at $99/mo.

#14I can imagine the servers running warm after all this indexing :)

#15The results are not very helpful. I searched for ".NET" and got mostly results about economics, climate and a "Music Help Desk" whatever that is. I searched for JavaScript and got results from newsletters I've never heard of that have less than 10 published issues. Googling for both things returns dozens of results for both search terms.
Hey there. Yes the search isn't perfect yet for certain terms but I'm working on improving it. Did you use the topic search for Javascript? I get quite a lot of relevant results. Note that we only show the top 6 for free users.

#16nice! And I probably could give it a try to the premium version, however I've a question, do newsletter owners accept to have their emails included in the directory? or did you get the information through publicly available data?
It's important for our campaigns to know how to approach each potential publisher

Hi there. It's all publicly available data.

#18Dates.
Would be nice to have some sort of date info. Be it when the newsletter started or, more useful, the date of the latest issue.
Yea it's a short search away but I'd like to know if the results I'm seeing are even relevant as I see them.

Hi there. The app surfaces dates in various ways.
In the search results there's an "Active" column that indicates whether a newsletter has published an issue within the last 45 days.
Then when you click into a newsletter it will show you the "Founded" date (when it started) and the dates for the most recent issues.
